[ barnaby doesn't even have time to react, to move, to think, but when she twists the blade the pain sets in, awful and wrenching and almost impossibly horrible. and when the lightning hits..
the sound of his own raw visceral scream is in his ears but barnaby doesn't remember choosing to scream, he doesn't remember anything at all past this awful moment. is he screaming? is that really his voice? what a horrific sound. and then the lightning is gone and his head is spinning, everything sounds fuzzy and his world turns black around the edges as his body crumples forward against his partner's. ]
